Question
Calculate the minimum energy needed to separate a neutron from a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons it terms of the masses MZ.N, MZ,N-1 and the mass of the neutron.
✓
Answer
$\text{E}_2\text{N}=\text{E}_{\text{Z,N}-1}+\text{ }^1_0\text{n}.$
Energy released = (Initial Mass of nucleus - Final mass of nucleus)c2 = (MZ.N-1 + M0 - MZN)c2.
Energy released = (Initial Mass of nucleus - Final mass of nucleus)c2 = (MZ.N-1 + M0 - MZN)c2.
